[autotag]Canelo Álvarez[/autotag]former prosecutor [autotag]Oscar De La Hoya[/autotag] took the time to send an incendiary message to boxing’s biggest star for not wanting to negotiate with Turki Alalshikh.
De La Hoya and Alvarez have exchanged heated words repeatedly over the years since they split. In a social media video De La Hoya calls “Clap Back Thursdays,” the Hall of Fame boxer took aim at Canelo for not wanting to do business with Alalshikh, who has quickly become a major player when it comes to booking the best fights. of boxing possible. .
Alalshikh recently shared that he was no longer interested in trying to fight Canelo against Terence Crawford. The message sparked a public argument between Canelo and Alalshikh.
“Turns out I’m not the only one who thinks Canelo is an arrogant piece of shit,” De La Hoya said in a video on X. “Turki Alalshikh recently revealed that Canelo has refused to meet him in person and is not considering making any deal with him.
“Why? Because he’s so overrated that the Saudis don’t even want to negotiate with him. And all because he’ll do anything not to fight David Benavidez. Look, Turki is trying to make the best fights that everyone wants to see, and Canelo keeps taking the fights that no one wants to see.”
In what will be his second fight of the year following a unanimous decision win over Jaime Munguia in May, Canelo is scheduled to defend his WBA, WBC and WBO super middleweight titles against Edgar Berlanga on September 14 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, on the same day that Noche UFC takes place at Sphere.
Scheduling conflicts have been a frequent topic in boxing and MMA circles, particularly for fans who enjoy watching both combat sports. De La Hoya, as he continued his speech, expressed his opinion about the date, and so did Berlanga.
“He claims he has an entire country behind him?” De La Hoya said. “Edgar, bro, you’re from Brooklyn. I think I’m more Puerto Rican than you and I only lived there for six years. Puerto Rico doesn’t claim you, bro.
“And as I said weeks ago, this fight will not work on September 14th. Not only because the matchup is good, but because they will face the UFC’s debut at the Sphere in Las Vegas. everyone and their mother has been waiting and seeing since it opened about a year ago. And who is financing and making it all happen?
In conclusion, De La Hoya turned his focus to Canelo, who he urged to reconsider his stance on not wanting to do business with Alalshikh.
“Canelo, you are really making the wrong enemies,” De La Hoya said. “But you know what? Fuck.”
